RobotStudio utilizes ABB's proprietary virtual controller technology, an exact copy of the real robot controller software (IRC5, OmniCore). This enables highly accurate simulations, ensuring that programs developed offline will behave identically on the physical robot, including kinematics, I/O, and motion algorithms.
An AI assistant is embedded directly within RobotStudio, offering contextual help, technical insights, and step-by-step instructions. It helps users, regardless of their experience level, navigate complex functionalities and optimize their workflows.
This feature automatically generates collision-free robot paths between specified points, taking into account the robot's kinematics, workpiece geometry, and cell layout. It optimizes joint movements and speeds to minimize cycle times.
RobotStudio Cloud enables real-time, multi-user collaboration on robot cell designs and programs. Its floating license model allows multiple team members to access and work on projects concurrently from any location or device, facilitating global engineering efforts.
The free RobotStudio AR Viewer mobile application projects virtual robot models and complete cell layouts into the real-world environment or a virtual room using augmented reality. This allows for immersive visualization and spatial validation.
Minimizing costly physical prototypes, reducing on-site commissioning time, and ensuring optimal robot performance and collision avoidance before physical installation.
Import CAD models of the factory layout, robots, and workpieces into RobotStudio.
Program robot tasks and trajectories offline using the virtual controller, simulating real-world kinematics and logic.
Utilize Automatic Path Planning to generate optimized, collision-free paths for multiple robots.
Perform extensive simulations to validate cycle times, reachability, and detect potential collisions.
Refine robot programs and cell layout based on simulation results, then upload the validated programs to the physical robots for rapid commissioning.
Reducing production downtime associated with on-site programming changes and achieving significant improvements in operational efficiency and output.
Create a digital twin of the existing production cell by importing its layout and robot configurations into RobotStudio.
Download current robot programs from the physical controllers to RobotStudio for analysis and modification.
Experiment with different robot motions, tool paths, and process parameters in the virtual environment.
Apply Automatic Path Planning and other optimization tools to identify and implement improvements that reduce cycle times by up to 50%.
Test and validate the optimized programs through simulation, then safely deploy them back to the physical robots without disrupting production.
Overcoming geographical barriers, enabling real-time design reviews, and speeding up the planning and decision-making phases for international projects.
Engineers from different regions access the shared RobotStudio project in the Cloud using their floating licenses.
Teams collaboratively design the welding cell, adding robots, fixtures, and workpieces, while making real-time adjustments.
Utilize the AI assistant for guidance on complex welding parameters or robot programming syntax.
Conduct virtual design reviews where all stakeholders can visualize the cell in 3D, and even in augmented reality using the AR Viewer.
Simulate and validate the entire welding process with multiple robots, ensuring coordination, collision avoidance, and optimal weld paths, leading to faster consensus and project progression.
Verified feedback from other users.
